[0:00]If someone asked you which is the beginning point of a ball, a tennis ball, what you would say?
[0:08]Where does it begin?
[0:12]In a circle, every point is a beginning and every point is an end. So creation is a continuous process. In the same way, dissolution is also a continuous process. There is spring here. There is summer here, and there is winter in the south hemisphere.
[0:35]So at the same time, on this planet, there is summer and winter together. But in different places. Isn't it? In the same way, there is creation, there is destruction. Old people are dying, new babies are being born. So it is not linear. Creation is spherical. So when there is spherical dimension to it, it is spherical in dimension, there is no beginning, no end. This is what the Vedas say, the Vedas say, God is not born because he never had a beginning. And so does his creation. Creation is changing. So it's called no beginning and no end. Understand? Like sphere, it doesn't begin, doesn't end. Appears to be. Sun appears to rise and set. Does it really rise or set? No. Sun is just glowing in one place. So what appears, they called Maya. It appears to be. But in reality, there is no beginning, no end. That is why God or divinity is considered beyond time. The moment there is time, there is beginning, there is end. Because time is the measure between two events. And space is the measure between two objects. But divinity is beyond time, beyond space, and all time and space are inside that. Like the sky. Clouds move in the sky. But where is the beginning of the sky? Where is the end of the sky? No, there is no beginning, no end. So in the ocean of divinity, the whole existence is. So the ancient people said sat, means it exists. It is neither born nor dies, it simply exists. Chit, and it is conscious and it is bliss. Three qualification to divinity. It exists, it is conscious, it is bliss. Then five functions to divinity. What? If it is conscious, it should be doing something. It creates within itself. Like wave is not coming from outside but within the water the wave comes, right? So within the divinity, creation happens. It is maintained in the same space and it destroys in the same space. Like from the mud you build the house or in the earth the house remains, when you destroy the house, it still remains on the earth. When you destroy the earth, the bricks don't fly off in the sky. The brick comes from the mud, when it is built, it remains in the mud, when it is destroyed, it goes back to the mud. In the same way, the whole creation is in God is created, maintained, and it dissolves back. And then divinity hides and then blesses. These are two more functions. Five function creation, maintenance, destruction, hiding and blessing. Because you don't it's not obvious, you can't see it everywhere. So it hides means it is veiled. It gets veiled. Like the roots of the tree are veiled, they are under the ground, you can't see the roots. Can you see the roots? Only sometime when you dig, you see the root. In the same way, God is hiding the whole creation in everybody. If you have an eye, you see everything in everybody. The divinity hides. Love is hiding in the whole world. You know, there are millions of people, only when you interact with them, you can feel their love. Isn't it? How do you know whether somebody has love or not? If you never talk to them, if you have never have any interaction, if you don't even look at them, you don't even feel that. Right? So in the same way, the good qualities in every human being is hiding. It need an opportunity to come and blossom. In the same way, talent. How do you know someone has a beautiful voice? Only when they sing.
[5:36]The voice is always there, but when they sing, you can hear, you can appreciate. So good qualities is hiding in every human being. In the same way, divinity is hiding in everybody. Only time and now and again.
[5:57]It manifests. And then Anurag means it blessings. It gives you blessings, fulfills your wishes. Grants you things that you want. That power is also with the divinity. The five functions. Three qualities and five functions to the divinity.
